YouTube channels focused on bullying

Today I’ve been looking for some videos and content creators about bullying. We have been talking about the importance of explaining to the kids all the definitions and concepts related to school bullying and teaching them how to detect and act when they face a case of bullying around them as a victim, bystander, or aggressor, and I believe it is important the way we teach them. Usually we pay more attention when the information is relevant or attractive to us, so I think it is important that these concepts are shown to children in a way or format that interests them. This is why I think that social media is a great place to post educational videos, which teachers can use to explain to kids important concepts like bullying and all its involved things.


One of the main social platforms that kids use is YouTube, so I have been searching for some channels that had the same idea before me and are posting content related to the topic. Here I’ll present you some of them, so all the future educators can take a look and show them to their students:


  • Bullying No Way: This British channel is managed by the Queensland Department of Education on behalf of the Commonwealth and all states and territories, as well as national Catholic and independent schooling representatives. According to themselves, the channel supports school communities with evidence-informed resources and activities for a proactive approach to bullying prevention.

  • In this channel, you can find some extended videos of professionals explaining the main concepts, some short videos of kids and teenagers sharing their experiences with bullying and answering some questions, and some animated videos to comprehend everything better, showing some situations.

  • STOMP Out Bullying: According to themselves, it is a channel that works to reduce and prevent bullying, cyberbullying, and other digital abuse, educates against homophobia, LGBTQ+ discrimination, racism, and hatred, and deters violence in schools, online, and in communities across the country. They promote civility, diversity, inclusion, equity, and equality and teach effective solutions on how to respond to all forms of bullying, as well as educating kids and teens in school and online. It provides help for those in need and at risk of suicide and raises awareness through peer mentoring programs in schools, public service announcements by noted celebrities, and social media campaigns.

This is a very diverse channel from the United States of America, with message videos of different people, including some famous and referent people, some interesting interviews, and news of all the activities and actions of the organization.

  • Fresberg Cartoon: This one is not only focused on bullying, but it has a big variety of educational videos that explain some facts, history, and other topics like leadership, communication skills, mental health, conflict resolution, how to deal with emotions and feelings, etc., all in a very simple, educational, and positive way through cartoon videos.

Gender Differences in Bullying

  Gender Differences in Bullying Bullying is a serious problem that happens in many places with children and teenagers like in school in sports and in summer camps I work as a coach and monitor with boys and girls in these kinds of spaces so this topic is important to me One thing that I see often is that bullying is not always the same for boys and girls boys usually show more physical bullying like hitting pushing or shouting girls usually use more relational bullying like ignoring others spreading lies or leaving someone out of the group this is something that many studies say too For example a study by Villardón Gallego et al says that boys are more likely to be involved in direct and physical bullying while girls show more indirect forms like social exclusion or emotional pressure (Villardón Gallego et al 2021) this means that sometimes bullying by girls is harder to see but it can hurt just as much Also according to the International Journal of Environmental Research an...

Audrie and Daisy (my opinions and way of thinking about it)

In this blog post, I brought you a documentary film mostly about 2 girls, Audrie and Daisy who had been sexually assaulted while being filmed and then cyberbullied. Audrie committed suicide in 2012 after all the things and the case happened to her. Daisy also tried to end her life by suicide multiple times right after the sexual crime and cyberbullying, but she was saved by her family every time (unfortunately in 2020, her attempt was fatal).    In the whole documentary we can meet both girls’ family and friends, talking about the things happened, which gives us a more emotional and devastating way of understanding what a sexual assault and cyberbullying can do to one person.   I do not want to give you spoilers or tell you the whole story; therefore, I would like to end my description here and truly advise you to watch it.     According to the World Health Organization, around 1 in 6 adolescents experience cyberbullying day by day and surprisingly and dev...

New Definition of Bullying

 Hi everyone! The World Anti-Bullying Forum, together with UNESCO, created a Working group for establishing a new definition of school bullying. Its new definition keeps the idea that bullying requires unwanted repetitive aggressiveness and imbalance of power, and adds the idea that this power imbalance is supported by societal and institutional norms. The emphasis is now in the idea that bullying is not an affair among students but a social process. The new definition is this one: School bullying is a damaging social process that is characterized by an imbalance of power driven by social (societal) and institutional norms. It is often repeated and manifests as unwanted interpersonal behaviour among students or school personnel that causes physical, social, and emotional harm to the targeted individuals or groups, and the wider school community. You can find the document where it is explained  here . Fes
